He Had Been In State Prison

A stranger entered an Austin saloon
the other evening, and after scowling
at the half-dozen sitters who were gath
cred there, he said:
Would you gentlemen object to TAX

State prison.
He was a big muscular fellow, with
a bad eye in his head, and rs he rested

the bar, facing the crowd, his right
hand reached playfully for his hip.

Premature Wrinkles.

Wrinkles are as natural TO old age ~
s full, smooth face to childhood.
They are due, mainly, to certain
,hrinkage Of the muscles-a shrinkage
which characterizes, more or less, the
entire system in the later period of life.
tits in consequence of this general
,hrinkage that in advanced life the
height is somewhat lowered; that the
substance of the jaws contracts, thus
often giving rise, by pressure on the
nerves that pass through the bony ca
nails, to severe and difficult neuralgia;
and that the brain substance becomes
reduced in bulk. water filling the va
can't space. Were it not for the fixed
habits and accumulated resources of n
lifetime an old mans brain would not
be equal to the work which he still per.
forms easily.
There is, of course, much difference
between old people in this respect,
which is due largely to temperament
habits of thought and of feeling, and
Of modes of life. The papers lately told
of man over one hundred years old,
whose face was wholly without
wrinkles. This was a very exceptional
case. For the great body of us, if we
attain length of days, must take them
with the addition of physical decay.
Even the proud belle must make up
her mind for wrinkles; but it, as she
grows older, she grows in good sense,
intelligence and kindly sympathies, her
beauty OF character will have an attrac-
ton far beyond beauty of face.
While wrinkles result from the natu-
'al working of the system, they may
also be caused by perverted condi-
ton of the system, as are pimples
blotches and boils. Now the human
face-unlke that of brutes-was meant
to be the "mirror of the mind" the
visible expression of every passion,
emotion and Utmost feeling Herein is
its chief beauty. Hence its numerous
muscles and nerves, whereby it is so
wonderfully adjusted to this end. But
muscles in constant or frequent exer.
else increase in volume, strength and
readiness of action.
Hence habit of thought and feeling
become stamped on the face, and we
read so easily the character of the
proud, the vain, the deceitful and the
sensual man, or of the kind, the calm,
the energetic the frank. the candid and
the honest man.
But there is nothing like care and
worriment to plough burrows in the
forehead, and these are badly marring
the faces of our American women. We
pass in the streets women of thirty-fve
whose foreheads are more wrinkled than
the brow should be at seventy. Some
of these may not have more cares than
others, but they unnecessarily yield to
the tendency to express them in the
face YOUTHS Companion.

CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT,
Weekly Meeting of the wv. M. B."

The "W. NJ. B." society, composed
of some eighteen or twenty accom-
plIshed young ladies of the Floyd
Street Methodist Church, had their
weekly entertainment at the Knight
of Labor hall, corner of Elm and
Hawkins streets. last night, which
proved to be most enjoyable affair
and a financial success to the young
ladies, who certainly deserved large
patronage, their work being COM
mendable, and one which will result in
much good for the church.
The entertainment consisted chiefly
of social amusement, which, to the
average young man, was worth far
more than the small price which adj
mitted them. Suffice it 20 say, how
ever, that tiny bouquets were worn
home on the lappels of some "young
fellows" which, though having been
pinned on by tiny hands, had cost
item something.
Long tables were spread in one end
of the hall. where delicacies of the
most tempting class were served, and
every one who had paid the price of
admission was allowed goodly por-
tion-yea verify, for one young man
said he had not eaten so much in ga
month of Sundays"
After refreshments had been served
it was unanimously agreed that some
of the young ladies should entertain
the audience by recitations.
"Green Mountain Justice" was rem
dered by Miss Harris in most be-
witching manner, and for the time
being kept the audience in praise and
laughter.
Miss Fannie Elliotts rendition of
"Sy Betsey" delighted every one and
proved the young lady to have great
talent.
"a Little Girls View of Hotel
Lif.' was e,ited by Miss Jennie
Lyme, and at the least interval the
audience encored the young artist
with loud applause.
Some vocal selections of music were
given by different ones, and to close
the entertainment the old game of
"snap" was played; after which the
"wee sma' hours" of night told the
young folks it was time to return
home.
The sum of $14 YVES the proceeds of
the evening, and with other amounts
raised by the young ladies, will be
used in adding to the building OF the
church.
Another entertainment will be given
b. the club next week, and large
support should he given these noble
workers.

She Wanted to Know.

A Boston gentleman came home the
other evening rather late for dinner.
He had had very fatiguing day in
his business, and was by no means in
the most serene of tempers, and his
spirits were not raised when he discOv-
cred that a water pipe had burst and
that it was necessary for him to go out
at once to procure II plumber. AS he
was putting on his Overcoat in the hall
he heard the voice of his six-year- old
daughter calling to him over the rail-
ing from the hall two stories above.
''Papa," she cried, 81 want to see
you"
81 am going out" he cried back,
"and l am in great hurry"
"But, papa" she persisted, "mayn't
l ask you one question 2"
eyes, if you'll be quick"
"May ask you two questions 2"
eyes, if you'll hurry. I'll answer
them when | come back !; but you
mustn't ask more than two.
"Well, papa" pursued the shrill
tones from above, 81 want to know
how they make condensed milk, and
how Christ did his miracles"
The despairing father gave a groan
and rushed out of the house to find the
plumber.

Senator Palmer's Views.

Senator Palmer of Michigan has
made stir by advising the republi-
cans of his state to take up the prohi-
bitiOn issue. He is now at Washing
ton, and defines his position as follows:
"Whenever the republican party has
been radical it has been triumphant.
Whenever the republican party has as
serted greigs principle it has always
won, and the question now is whether
we shall take the lead in the prohibi
ten movement or come in at the tail of
the procession later. Although great
majority of the republican party re-
gard those questions which the war
developed as of great interest and i'm
pOrtance, such as the rights of the ne
gro in the South, the freedom of the
BALLOT and an honest count at the
polls, a generation has come up that
knows not Joseph, and new fuel is re-
Quired to fire them up to the enthusi
asm that existed when the republican
party achieved its greatest triumphs.
1t is absolutely imperative that we
have some great moral or sentimental
issue to hold the party together. The
tariff alone won't do, and l know of no
other question that appeals to the
hearts and homes of the people like
the temperance question. l believe
that the sentiment of the republican
party, or the great majority of it, is al
ready in favor of adopting the prOhi
bitiOn issue at state elections, and that
within six years it will become a ma
tiOnal ISSUE"

These are the heroic words of the

her daughters stood by while the doc

Senator Edmunds Actually Jokes.
Washington Cor. N. Y,

Washington Cor. N. Y. Sum-
There was an amusing scene in the
senate today between two great states
men. 1t is the fashion for senators
when they introduce a bill they think
well of to ask that it be printed in the
Congressional Record, and today when
the flood gates were opened, nearly
every senator made such request
Mr. Evarts was one of the last to get in
his bills, and when he asked that one OF
the number be printed in the Record
Mr. Edmunds objected. Mr.. Evarts
showed his establishment very plainly,
and when he recovered himself, re-
marked that he hoped that the senator
from Vermont would not object to his
enjoying the same privileges that 9th
er senators had been granted. 81 Oh
.ject, Mr.. President" reiterated the
senator from Vermont without a symp-
tom of a smile upon his St. Jerome
like lineaments. Mr.. Evarts removed
his glasses, and looking toward Ed
mumds exclaimed: 81 wish the senator
from Vermont would give his reasons
for his objection" Mr.. Edmunds arose
jected to the printing of the bill in the
ton SO vOluminOus, and caused what
he considered an unnecessary expense.
Mr.. Evarts then began to suspect that
his colleague on the judiciary commit
tee was quizzing him, and observed
that the objections should have been
made earlier in the day, before so
many senators had been gratified by
the privilege. He did not think the
short measure he had in his hand
would greatly increase the volume of
the Record or the expense of it's pub
LEGATION. Then Mr.. Ingalls,, who had
watched the play with interest, said
from the chair: "The senator from
New York asked that the bill just re-
ported be printed in the Record. Is
there any objection There being no
objection, the same is ordered" Then
Mr.. Edmunds strobe over to Mr.. Ev-
arts seat and laughed at him. Next
he went to the official reporter and
asked him not to put the dialogue in
the Record.

A Capital Joke.
Toronto Globe.

The following story has its head
quarters at Clinton: On one of the fine
days of last week a lady came down
town to do some shopping. She
brought her "yearling" in baby car
riage, which she left at certain dry
goods store while she went in to make
her purchases. One of the clerks in
the store, who knew the mother well,
thought to play joke. So while she
was busy he went out and wheeled
the carriage and baby into an adioin-
ing store. Though he was not aware
of it the lady had been watching his
and when she was ready
to go home she did so without carriage
or baby. Shortly after "bubbyn kick
ed up high jinks, and the joker clerk
was sent for to take him away. And
as the mother was gone he was obliged
to wheel baby home, the youngster
at the top of his voice nearly
the whole way, ana advertising the
much to the annoyance of
the clerk. When he reached the gate
the mother came out, and her exclama-
ton was: "Dear me, forgot parcel,
did ." and as she saw the youngster
